What God worked recently in my family

God has worked great in the lives of my family in the past weeks. I had to bring my mom into a hospital because of her ongoing sufferings from Alzheimer it has become to dangerous for her to live alone in her apartment, even though I lived right next to her and spent a lot time with her.

I didn’t liked to see her in the hospital ,rather than caring for her by myself, but it went to be above my ability to keep her save all the time. Yet God had a plan and He was about to work it out to the best of all, as He always does if we don’t get in His way. So I sought God’s wisdom and providence in prayer and solitude that He may give me the confidence and strength in all that happened.

Well, because this is Germany, a great deal with bureaucracy began to get my mom a place in the right retirement home to the right conditions. Besides this, all her stuff in her apartment needed to be removed as the landlord wanted to sell it, plus I had to find a new fulltime job for myself. This is only a very, very brief description on all the stuff I and, thank God, my brother had to deal with during the past weeks.

But as mentioned above God had a plan and He brought it to pass.

This is what the LORD says- your Redeemer,

the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD your God,

who teaches you what is best for you,

who directs you in the way you should go. Isa 48:17

So now my mom is settled in the retirement home, she made new friends there and is involved in a lot of activities like baking and knitting. And because the retirement home is close to my brothers home, he and his family, especially my nephew and niece, can visit her almost every day. Which is good for her as she is kept busy and well cared for all the time much better than I was able to. Especially since she lost almost all of her friends here and the things I could do with her where just limited.

Finally God gave me a new fulltime job as fitter, which is certainly a fun job to do (see picture) but I’m sure that He will have a plan for my future in ministry, as it is my hearts desire to return to the USA. Because many years ago  in the USA it happened that He called me out of the darkness of my former life into a life with Him and to do the good work.

    

This is, as said,only briefly what God did in my and my families lives recently, but the real message is that God’s plan will be perfect for everyone if we submit to His will and have faith in Him because; The future is as bright as the promise of God.

wish you a blessed day & future with God
